Thanksgiving
Amidst the insanity and busy-ness of university life, going for LM (Life Meeting) has never failed to make me feel better. Today was the last LM for this semester, aptly titled 'Thanksgiving', where we all come together to give our thanks to God as our final exams roll near and the semester comes to a close.
Today, as all the different people in Campus Crusade for Christ step up to give their testimonies and personal thanks to God, I felt very encouraged. I had stepped into university with all the comforting tales about how life is going to be much smoother than the mad rush in Junior College. But I couldn't be more wrong. If anything, life in university is a madder rush than that in JC. But I shall not elaborate on that. Today, is about thanksgiving.
I want to thank God for all the wonderful testimonies shared by our friends today because they gave me hope when life seemed so bleak. I have been failing my CAs left, right, centre, up and down, and unlike JC, everything in uni counts towards your CAP (Cumulative Average Point). So it's like a little 10% here, a little 20% there, but if you keep failing these little 10-20%, you will get a grand total of... not very much. And it doesn't help much that everyone else seems to be doing so much more better than yourself. There were days when even smiling seemed like such a chore. I just couldn't find a reason to smile and there was really nothing to be happy about. And naturally, I didn't feel like talking very much. There was nothing to say anyway. So, sorry to my friends if I'd seem very fierce or moody these past few days.
I want to thank God for the new friend I made today and knowing that I'm not alone. And also to all my friends who have been encouraging me, thanks.
Thank you God, for reminding me once again, that You are in control of everything. I'm just gonna do my part and study hard. Keep up my faith and trust in You. Finals are in less than 3 weeks.
Bah, talking about my grades makes me feel all depressed again -.- shoot.
But, I will not give up trusting in God, for He promises that He will make all things beautiful in His time.
~Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight.~
-Proverbs 3:5-6
